Are you excited?
Ubisoft has used the 20th anniversary of Splinter Cell to tease what’s to come in its remake.
As part of a 20-minute video, below, Ubisoft Toronto touched upon the remake that they’re hard at work on.
According to Chris Auty, Creative Director on the remake, he and his team are looking “back at the plot, the characters, and the overall story of the original game,” and focusing on improvements for “things that may not have aged particularly well”.
Depsite this, Auty said that “the core of the story, the core of the experience will remain as it was the original game.”
One such improvement will lie in AI behaviour and performance.
“We can really improve AI engagement, how they’re reacting and what they’re reacting to,” said Senior Game Designer, Andy Schmoll. “With all of that we can make improvements to the cat-and-mouse gameplay between Sam and the enemies, especially with our enemies behaving like trained professionals.”
“A special forces soldier will be better trained,” added Technical Director, Christian Carriere. “They’re going to breach differently or enter rooms differently to something like a regular security guard would.”
We’ll have more on the Splinter Cell remake as it becomes available. In the meantime, happy 20th anniversary to the franchise!
